Neymar and Edinson Cavani have high-profile disagreements on the field since the Brazilian joined the French giants.

And it now appears to be reaching a head, with reports the Brazilian has told the Ligue 1 side to target Chelsea star Alvaro Morata.

Neymar reportedly wants the club to replace the Uruguayan with Morata, who is in his first season at Stamford Bridge.

The pair famously clashed on the pitch in October over who was going to take a penalty.

Morata, meanwhile, has had trouble settling in English football and could seek an exit.

Chelsea feel a three-day break will help allow the players to return to training refreshed and ready tackle the challenges ahead under manager Antonio Conte.

Will Neymar's record breaking transfer from Barcelona to PSG actually go through?

Italian Conte has found his position in the spotlight following two straight Premier League defeats including Monday's 4-1 loss at Watford.

Press Association Sport understands that there was no board meeting on Tuesday to discuss the manager's future.

Former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique and Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone have both been linked with Conte's job, but it is understood there are currently no discussions with any other potential managerial candidates.

The Chelsea players have, though, been given three days off before returning on Friday in the build-up to the home match against West Brom on February 12.

Conte remained defiant when again pressed on his future after the defeat at Vicarage Road, where the home side scored three late goals after Eden Hazard's fine 81st-minute strike looked to have rescued a draw.

"I'm not worried about my job," the Italian said, before signalling his intention to continue working to turn the team's form around.

Conte arrived at Stamford Bridge during the summer of 2016 and swiftly led Chelsea to the Premier League title, winning 30 matches.

However, mounting a successful defence while also juggling the demands of a European campaign has proved testing, with Chelsea now some 19 points behind leaders Manchester City.

Yet despite having also lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth last week, Chelsea remain in the top four of the Premier League, one point ahead of Tottenham.

Conte has also guided the Blues into the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will be at home against Sky Bet Championship side Hull, while also soon getting set for a Champions League showdown with Barcelona.

Chelsea backed their manager, who still has 18 months of his contract to run, during the January transfer window by bringing in defender Emerson Palmieri from Roma and France forward Olivier Giroud from Arsenal.
